Non-contact heart and respiratory rate monitoring of preterm infants based on a computer vision system: a method comparison study.

Journal: Pediatric research
Published Date: Dec 1, 2019

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Non-contact heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) monitoring is necessary for preterm infants due to the potential for the adhesive electrodes of conventional electrocardiogram (ECG) to cause damage to the epidermis. This study was performed to evaluate the agreement between HR and RR measurements of preterm infants using a non-contact computer vision system with comparison to measurements obtained by the ECG.
